At one time or another in their career, the Stones have been associated with just about every other memorable name in the music industry either through some collaboration on stage or in the studio or because of their influence on the other artist or the other artist's influence on them.

I don't recall any connection with Pink Floyd. Is there one? Certainly they must have run in the same public circles coming from the British music scene of the 60s. David Gilmour has worked with Pete Townshed while Roger Waters has worked with Eric Clapton. Townshend and Clapton are close to the Stones, so there is at least an indirect connection there.

Does anybody know of anything more between the Stones and Floyd?

I don´t think there have beem any connections.

really can't found anything. thanks God.

the only thing i know is that david gilmour played on the latest chris jagger album

I was going to ask people the same thing. These are two of my favorite bands but don't recall any link between the two..

How about the Grateful Dead and the Stones. After the whole Altamont thing was there any other link between them. I know Mick Taylor played with the Dead in the 80s. Jerry and the Dead have also covered Stones songs, anything else?

I know one connection...that ROger Water solo album from 83 or 84 was together with Stones' Undercover slaughtered in the press for bad cover.....the female-movement was upset.
(I know it's not the answer you were looking for...)

Listen to "the gold it's in the ...", from Pink Floyd's album Obscured by clouds - and then listen to If You Can't Rock Me from iorr.

And by the way, there's no secret PF was influenced by The Stones in their very early years.

that's about it as far I can think of - the Bill Graham connection - Bill cited many times that both acts were the best at their respective games.

Tax bracket.

there one connection, but it's not a musical connection.

Stu was regulary playing golf with Roger Waters.

I know that David Gilmour and Mick had a lot of mutual friends in the music/fashion industry in London in the seventies, Chelsea/Barnes type scene, so they all know each other.

Of course they know each other, they are both London bands.

The owner of the infamous Fiji resort where Keith fell, is...David Gilmour !

But he's just an homonymic...

The only connection I know is, that the two bands was connected to The Beatles. But non of PF have been working on Stones or Beatles recordings.

I remember hearing/reading that Keith (maybe Mick too) went to one of those Acid Test parties that Ken Kesey's gang had in the 60's. Mountain Girl was part of that group, and she was married to Jerry G at one time. I can't remember exactly, but I think it was the Dead who brought them to the party.

I got the impression that Keith wasn't too impressed with that whole scene. Mick/Keith were sexy hippies, the SF hippies were kinda dirty, not so sexy.

hadn't heard that about Keith, Cindy....from reading Phil's bio - he is/was quite the Keith admirer...tells a story of sitting on a plane next to him and being in awe.

Yeah...funny that ...Pink Floyd started as a copy band, playing mostly Stones songs?
And acutally took their name from two old blues players...whom I can't recall at present...but one had "Pink" in his name...the other...dare I say it? *lol*

I DARE YA!!!

Vilhelm - you have become so jaded! That makes me sad.

Well, Cindy, right now, I feel jaded and cynical. And sad, very sad.

Sorry to hear that. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you that they'll come back out your way.

Thank you. If they don´t, I´ll always have the memories from the two first shows in Boston.

Dark Side Of The Moon was rehearsed at The stones rehearsal space (I forgot the name). It's in classic albums "Dark Side of The Moon"

To 'The Worst',

You say they are both London Bands.

Pink Floyd are a Cambridge band. They all went to the same High School there, even Dave Gilmour I think. Olivia Newton John's father was their headmaster - and he was a quite a 'lad', by all accounts.

Not surprisingly, they did move to London soon after leaving school. I think Barrett is still domiciled in his home town.

Another Cambridge band is Katrina and the Waves. Another is The Soft Boys.
